.SH "NAME"
shibd \- Shibboleth daemon
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
shibd [\fB\-tfFvh\fR] [\fB\-c\fR \fIconfig\fR] [\fB\-d\fR \fIprefix\fR] [\fB\-p\fR \fIpidfile\fR]
[\fB\-w\fR \fIseconds\fR] [\fB\-x\fR \fIcatalog\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBshibd\fR is the Shibboleth daemon.  It handles attribute requests from the
Apache Shibboleth module and should run in conjunction with it.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
\&\fBshibd\fR takes the following command-line options.
.IP "\fB\-c\fR \fIpathname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-c pathname"
Specifies the pathname of \fBshibd\fR's configuration file. Defaults to
/etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml or the value of the \s-1SHIBSP_CONFIG\s0
environment variable, if it is set.
.IP "\fB\-d\fR \fIpathname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-d pathname"
Installation prefix. Defaults to /usr.
.IP "\fB\-F\fR" 4
.IX Item "-F"
Stay in the foreground.  Normally, \fBshibd\fR backgrounds itself after
starting up.
.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 4
.IX Item "-f"
Force removal of listener socket.
.IP "\fB\-h\fR" 4
.IX Item "-h"
Prints out a brief summary of the shibboleth options.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR \fIpathname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-p pathname"
Specifies the pathname to use to write out the shibboleth \s-1PID\s0 file.
.IP "\fB\-w\fR \fIseconds\fR" 4
.IX Item "-w seconds"
Seconds to wait for the background \fBshibd\fR to start up before the
foreground process returns.  If not set, the default value is three
seconds.
.IP "\fB\-t\fR" 4
.IX Item "-t"
Validates the general correctness of the configuration. Not all problems
can be detected this way, but the chance of successful startup is high if
the checking process does not log any errors.
.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4
.IX Item "-v"
Prints out the version string.
.IP "\fB\-x\fR \fIpathname\fR" 4
.IX Item "-x pathname"
Specifies the \s-1XML\s0 schema catalog to use. Defaults to
\&\fI/usr/share/xml/shibboleth/catalog.xml\fR.
